REMINDER TO
BRUSSELS RESIDENTS
Brussels
Mrs Winona Martin, Brussels,
and her daughter Mrs. Gwendolyne
Tooth have returned from a tour to
Labrador.
Leaving Toronto on the 401
passing the Big Apple made one
think of New York; and further
along the Wet Lands made you
think you had reached Holland with
its irrigation ditches.
The giant dome of St. Joseph's
Oratory appeared on the hill, its
height being 83 feet; in memory of
Brother Andrd.
At Three Rivers, where three
tributaries of the St. Maurice River
meet, they turned north to Shawi.n-
igan Falls which produces hydro.
Flat roofs and outside stairways are
condemned here. It is the home
town of Jean Chretien. Houses
decorated with butterflies mean
"Love and peace within".
Passing through La Toque, they
arrived in Vai Jalbert, a very old
paper mill town. There are massive
falls here and a large hydro genera
tor. The old village is being
refurbished to its former state in the
park. It is on Lake St. John people
were picking strawberries and
blueberries.
At Jonquiere the water was
reddish from pollution from the
aluminum factory.
Chicoutimi is the home of
McLeod and Price lumber company
where there are falls. Hydro is
produced where large falls are.
At Rose du Nord, they boarded

the Marjolaine II and sailed down
the Saguenay River to Cap Trinit6
and Eternity where the famous
Madonna stands 540 feet up on a
cliff. She weighs five tons and is 29
feet tall. They reversed back to
Rose du Nord.
In Tadoussac they went whale
watching on a "tall" ship which was
all open deck. They travelled on to
Sept. Isles where David Miller,
formerly of Brussels, worked for
years. They boarded a train and on
the 10 hour ride saw much forest,
rivers, falls, fish ladder and rocks.
Reaching Labrador City they
went by miners' bus to Wabush
where they stayed three nights. In
the meantime, the bus driver was
driving back to Baie Comeau and
up 350 pi|es on the new "Road to
Freedom1' which was rough like the
road to Alaska was at first. He
unfortunately had a flat tire, put out
flares hoping a black bear didn't
appear. Finally, he saw lights and
stood in the centre of the road.
Being as he was in bus driver's
attire, the vehicle stopped and took
him to Labrador City. There were
very few places to get gas on the
350 mile stretch.
In Wabush the travellers visited
the open mine iron ore factory. In
Labrador City there was a museum
and a church with cement roof.
They then went into Quebec to
the Fermont City with its one mile
long mouth wall which protects
them in winter. They were taken to
the open iron ore mine . Trucks and
machines were very large and a
large tire cost $18,000.
Gagnon is a ghost city which was
bulldozed down when the mine
went broke.
Travelling the Road to Freedom
they reached Baie Cornea and
Tadoussac again, and visited the
home made bread bake ovens at
Saint Irencd.
In Saint Anne de Beapre the
Cyclorama and Basilica were

marvellous.
The Isle of Orleans is famous for
strawberries and the Montmorency
Falls was one and a half times as
high as Niagara Falls.
Quebec City with its famous
statues and upper and lower towns,
is magnificent.
They entered the Easter Town
ships and at Drummondville, one
of the travellers on the tour fell,
broke her glasses and her cheek.
She was left in the hospital to fly
home to St. Thomas.
The tour continued across the
Ottawa River into Quebec to the
Montibello establishment. It is a
huge area where Louis Joseph
Papineau of the Rebellion of 1937
built a manor home, church, school
and stable. It is beautiful, full of
French articles, Mrs. Martin said.
The Monibello has boating and
cabins. It is a huge building built of
logs, somewhat like the hotel at
Yellowstone near Old Faith
Geyser.
There were 42 people on board
and all had an informative vacation,
Mrs. Martin said.
The VHtege of Brussels began a corrugated
cardboard recycling program on June 1,1994.
This program is for corrugated cardboard
only. Cardboard will be picked up at the curb
on the 1st Wednesday of the month with the
other recyclables. It is to be flattened and tied
in a bundle. Do not put regular garbage or
other boxes inside a cardboard box.
